If You Don't Love Me

Some people can talk about anything In a way that keeps you up in the night This one wasn't a talker But she liked his words just fine He told her that he didn't know if it would work But he wasn't one that she could live without She knew that this could be the last time So as he got up to leave town She said If you don't love me, I'll move to Carolina And find a bay bridge I could live beside But if you love me, yeah, really love me I could find a way to give you my life If you don't love me, I'll cross the ocean Maybe Japan would get you off my mind But if you love me, yeah, really love me I'll follow you to the end of the line He had a life in a city With a couple of friends and a job Dreaming of a life of a daughter And a wonderful wife he could love And though he thought of her when he was on his own Something in his heart said it wasn't right And then he knew it was the last time And as they said goodbye She said If you don't love me, I'll move to West Virginia And live with all the people that I know from home But if you love me, yeah, really love me You could be the one I won't let go If you don't love me, I'll see a shrink And I'll tell him all the things I can't tell you But if you love me, yeah really love me I'll hold on to you my whole life through
